Why Aix-en-Provence matters
Aix is the Provence of leafy boulevards and fountains. Its market squares smell of herbs and flowers, students keep cafés busy, and artist Paul Cézanne lived and painted here. The jagged Montagne Sainte-Victoire he loved looms on the horizon.
Talking points
- Cézanne painted Mont Sainte-Victoire dozens of times.
- Fountains give it the nickname City of a Thousand Fountains.
- Local markets run on set days in the old squares.
